Compassion Fatigue Cure: From Burnout to Radiance for Women Healers 50+
Your Menopause Rage Is Actually A Superpower Reigniting Your Purpose
Do you feel a sudden, white-hot rage when someone asks you to do something you used to say "yes" to with a smile?
Society tells you that menopause is the end—the drying up, the fading away. Biology tells a different story. Biology says you are waking up. As the "caregiving hormone" (Estrogen) leaves your system, the veil lifts. You aren't becoming "difficult" or "bitter." You are entering your Truth Serum Era. The hot flashes and the intolerance for drama aren't symptoms of a breakdown; they are the fire of your transformation into the Wise Woman.
In Day 8 of the Radiance Reset, Dr. Julie reframes "The Change" as a Coronation. Discover the neuroscience of why your brain is rewiring to prioritize Truth over Pleasing, how to use the "Cold Water Reset" to hack your Vagus Nerve when the heat gets too high, and why your Second Act is about to be your most powerful chapter yet.
You are not old; you are a Queen crowning herself. Press play to stop fighting your body and start wielding your new power.
This podcast supports women healers over 50 navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions with strategies for nervous system regulation, trauma-informed boundaries, and chakra alignment to heal resentment and self-neglect while cultivating soul joy, radiance, and a purposeful next chapter of freedom and inner peace.
Burnout isn’t your failure—it’s the cost of caring too long without support.

Welcome to the 12 days of Radiance Reset. We are ditching the holiday overwhelmed to take you from exhausted and trapped to radiant and free. This is your end of year reconnection. Society tells you that menopause is the end, drying up the fading away. Biology tells a different story. Biology says you are waking up. This isn't a crisis. It is your power awakening. Empowering brilliant women in healthcare over 50 to transform burnout and compassion fatigue into renewed passion. Reigniting your spark to create a life that energizes you every single day. I'm your host, Dr. Jules. Let's get to it. Today we are reframing the change. You need to listen until the end of this episode because I'm going to share the neuroscience of why your brain changes in menopause to prioritize truth. Over pleasing. You aren't crazy. You are just done lying. We are working with the vagus nerve, the hot flashes, the sudden anxiety. That is the nervous system dysregulation, and I have a hack to cool it down instantly, and I'm giving you the second spring affirmation. We are shifting your mindset from. Aging to reinvention. So let's get to the science. Dr. Christine Northrop talks about the wisdom years. Here is what is happening biologically. Your reproductive years in your reproductive years, your brain is marinated in estrogen. Estrogen is the caretaking hormone. It makes you want to nurture to smooth things over, you know, to connect. But in menopause, the veil lifts, the estrogen drops, and suddenly you see things. Clearly. You see the inequality at work. You see the imbalance in your marriage. This can feel like rage. It can feel like conflict, but I want you to reframe it. It is actually alignment. You are biologically wired now to speak your truth. Now, let's talk about the physical toll. Menopause stresses your nervous system. Your window of tolerance shrinks things that didn't bother you five years ago now make you want to scream. We need to widen that window. We need to stimulate the vagus nerve to tell your body you are safe in this new version. So here is the tool. It's the cold water reset. Next time you feel heat rising, whether it's a hot flash or a flash of anger, I want you to go to the bathroom, turn the tap to freezing cold, splash your face, or run that cold water over the insides of your wrists for 30 seconds. This shocks the vagus nerve into resetting. It engages the dive reflex, so it lowers your heart rate. It cools the hot flash and it brings you back to the present moment. You are not old. You are a queen. Crowning herself. You're a queen ager. This is your second act, so I need you to go take my quiz. What? Your burnout, compassion fatigue, archetype. It's linked right there in the show notes. Take it right now. This is gonna help you claim your crown. We rise together. If this episode hit home, don't just nod and move on.
